- Headaches aggravated by Valsalva maneuvers, such as yawning, laughing, crying, coughing, sneezing or straining.
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Dizziness and vertigo
- Nausea
- Nystagmus (irregular eye movements)
- Facial pain
- Muscle weakness
- Impaired gag reflex
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- Sleep Apnea
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)[
- Impaired coordination
- Dysautonomia: tachycardia (rapid heart), syncope (fainting), polydipsia (extreme thirst), chronic fatigue
- The blockage of Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) flow may also cause a syrinx to form, eventually leading to syringomyelia. Central cord symptoms such as hand weakness, dissociated sensory loss, and, in severe cases, paralysis may occur.
I had all of these symptoms pre-surgery. I still have almost all of them now, post-surgery. I have also had a surgery on my heart to correct my Dysautonomia. Along with over 1,000 shots of Norcan, kind of like the medicine dentists use to numb the mouth, on my face, neck, and scalp to relieve pain from numerous 'trigger points'. Don't worry, the number was spread out over time. I only received 50 to 200 at a time.
